Didn't France get the memo, that Heavy Metal is blacklisted

How could they disturb the world order by having Gojira perform at the Olympic opening ceremonies. Didn’t they think about the children that will be damaged after viewing such antiestablishment music.

Gojira Were So Extremely Metal For Their 2024 Olympics Opening Ceremony Performance That Made History

Lady Gaga put on quite the show at the 2024 Olympics opening ceremony in Paris, but you know what it was missing? Pyrotechnics, headless women in a castle, and a boat carrying an opera singer. Enter: Gojira. The group became the first metal band to ever perform during the opening ceremonies. They were chosen because a) they’re French, and b) they put on a sick show.

Marie Antoinette it was and she had this to say while holding her severed head in her hands:

“Ah! ça ira, ça ira, ça ira les aristocrates à la lanterne! Ah! ça ira, ça ira, ça ira les aristocrates on les pendra!”

“Ah! It’!l be fine, it’ll be fine, it’ll be fine The aristocrats at the lantern! Ah! It’Il be fine, it’ll be fine, it’ll be fine The aristocrats we will hang them!”

Such a timely message for the world to hear. Metal AF.

but I'd say it's way past time for heavy metal to have an Olympic presence
